The Year 2025 Marks 1,700 Years Since the First Council of Nicaea

Who would have thought that the year 2025 will mark 1,700 years since the First Council of Nicaea. Opened in May and closed in July 325 by the Roman Emperor Constantine the Great, it was the first ecumenical council in Christian history. It produced a statement of belief or creed that, finalised by the First Council of Constantinople in 381, has become the universal foundation of Christian faith that must be accepted by all who profess to be Christians.
